Rastafarian
A Rastafarian person
Patois: Di ras a chant down Babylon.
English: The Rastafarian is denouncing the corrupt system.
The Rastafarian language is actually much easier to learn than Jamaican Patois because it’s mostly a play on English words (e.g. “overstand” for “understand”,“downpress” for “oppress”,“ I-ditate” for “meditate” etc…) rather than being an entirely separate dialect as with Jamaican Patois.
